Sometimes my "Pen Drive" is detected at one go !!!

And then most (I'm atlking MOST of the time...) it won't get recognised.
I have to plug it in / and plug it out!!! couple of times before it's accepted.

Even happened with my "iPod"

help... what to do? (both of the front USB slot are acting like irritating "Slut"s)

help... gsoul here

The problem is with your slots not with the ipod or PD.
Try with the ports in the back. Buy a USB extension cable to use the back ports easily.
